An integral part of a successful campus visit is making the candidate feel welcome. This includes being mindful of word usage, body language, and tone. Hosts, including the search committee members, staff, and faculty members, are integral to a positive on campus experience for candidates. Everyone who has any contact with candidates should aim to make a positive impression as a representative of the university (see Appendix V for suggestions for preparing welcome packages for candidates.)
